As you have been charged a fine for drunk and driving and you paid the challan at the District Court. In the application process of IBPS PO you will have to mention the fine you paid in the question “whether any prosecution/conviction/fine/sentence/detention against you has been awarded by a court of law”. Other than the fine you paid, you don’t have to mention anything else in the form.
